12 Years Later: Assessing Bashar al Assad's Impact on the Arab League Summit

As we mark the twelfth anniversary of Bashar al-Assad's ascension to power in Syria, it's important to take stock of his impact on one key regional organization: the Arab League. Over the past decade-plus, Assad has been a controversial figure within this influential group, with some member states fiercely opposed to his regime while others have sought closer ties with Damascus. In this post, we'll explore both sides of the debate and assess whether Assad's leadership has strengthened or weakened the Arab League as an institution. So grab a cup of coffee and join us for a deep dive into one of the most complex geopolitical issues of our time!

The event, which is scheduled to take place in the Syrian capital of Damascus on March 29-30, will be an opportunity to assess Bashar al-Assad's impact on the organization and the region as a whole.

The Arab League was founded in 1945 to promote economic, cultural, and social cooperation among its member states. Syria joined the organization in 1953 and played a crucial role in its early years, hosting several summit meetings and serving as a conduit for Arab unity.

However, Syria's relations with the Arab League began to deteriorate in the 1960s as a result of its support for radical groups like the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and its involvement in conflicts such as the 1967 Six-Day War. These tensions came to a head in 1976 when Syria was expelled from the League after it invaded Lebanon during its civil war.

Syria rejoined the Arab League in 1989 and has participated in all summit meetings since then. However, its relations with other members have remained strained due to its continued support for groups like Hezbollah and Hamas and its involvement in regional conflicts such as the civil war in Iraq.

The most recent Arab League Summit was held in Cairo in 2016, but Syria was not invited due to its continued support for terror groups and its involvement in human rights violations. This year's summit will be an opportunity to assess how much has changed

The Arab League Summit is an annual meeting of the heads of state and government of the Arab League member states. The summit was first held in Cairo in 1945 and has since been held in various locations throughout the Arab world. This year's conference is being held in Tunis, Tunisia.

The Syrian Civil War began in 2011 when pro-democracy protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime were met with violence from the government. The conflict quickly escalated into a full-blown civil war, with opposition forces fighting against Assad's forces for control of Syria. Over the past seven years, the conflict has killed over 400,000 people and displaced millions more.

In 2012, the Arab League suspended Syria's membership due to the government's violent crackdown on the opposition. This year's summit will be the first time that Assad has attended an Arab League summit since his suspension. Given the significant role that Syria has played in recent events in the region, including the civil war in Syria and the rise of ISIS, Assad's attendance at this year's summit is highly anticipated.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sudan have a long-standing history of bilateral relations.

Over the years, the UAE has been a strong supporter of Sudan's development and prosperity. As Sudan faces challenging times, it is important that this support continues. The UAE has been a key player in Sudan's development, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, health, education, and renewable energy. In recent years, the UAE has also provided aid and support to Sudan in the aftermath of natural disasters, such as floods and droughts. This assistance has played a crucial role in mitigating the effects of these disasters on the people of Sudan. The current situation in Sudan is particularly challenging, with political instability and economic difficulties plaguing the country. The people of Sudan are facing a myriad of issues, including inflation, unemployment, and a lack of basic necessities like food and clean water. In addition, the ongoing conflict in the region has only exacerbated the situation, causing immense suffering to the people of Sudan. In light of these

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not
